For msi and exe packages - use win_package as a rule of thumb. If you still have issues with these, you can report an issue here https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues because the module's supported by the community.
win_command shouldn't be used for installations as it usually ends up in a hit or a miss situation. If win_package doesn't work for you, you can try putting your win_command arguments as a pwsh script, saving it on the target node, and running that script through a remote powershell session. If you don't know how to do that, you can look up invoke-command or new-pssession. Ansible uses winrm as well so any issues you have with ansible should be visible by running this script remotely.
